Meson build failing(not completing) on windows server 2019

[Moiz]

I am using gst-build repo to build gstreamer using meson and ninja

Most of it builds successfully however it doesn't complete the build, and as
a result of this I am missing some plugins.

After running ninja -C builddir, my build fails with the following errors

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

As a result of this I am missing base plugins such as vorbis enc

When I run python gst-env.py, then gst-inspect-1.0 vorbisenc I get

no such element vorbisenc

Is there any issues with my build, I have python3.9, tried with visual
studio community 2017 and 2019, ninja 1.10, meson 0.55, Built using meson
builddir & ninja -C builddir

I am also on windows server 2019
